The good news is that electrics are very efficient. The bad news is they are twice as heavy and cost twice as much. Terry got his charge time down to 45 minutes with multiple chargers. E-bikes shine in urban 'stop and go' traffic due to regenerating braking. Dynamic braking replaces the need for anti lock systems. For long distance touring or rural use, biodiesel makes sense. Everyone benefits from drag reduction.
